Scoot has a header out, hmmm. Would be nice to see it. Hope you find your pics. How did a guy in Greece get a secret header from Japan?

Last ones!
As you can see this the header installed in my car.
You can see it next to an Amemiya header and next to the stock header.

And the last is on the car!

Some vids for hearing the sound the car makes now, which will change in a while because I am changing the exhaust...

As for how i got it, as Team said, I paid the price...
1000 euros after a lot of negotiations and after ordering ten units for start and more to come(not me, I am not a vendor) and ofcourse after a big batch of cats form them.
$1227.20~ ... ouch.

You said that a friend of yours is getting 235 to the wheel NA?!?! And no ECU tuning?!?!?! If that's true 240-250whp NA my be attainable. $1230 (+$1000~ for some EMU) aint too bad when considering the potential gains. Also some other power adders may drop in price if you can get that power for that amount.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. RE Amimiya couldn't even achieve that. Perhaps that 235whp is with some sort of port job though. When its all said and done, if that number is even achievable, you'd probably be spending more than the cost of the SFR turbo kit.

Sound is a bit loud for my taste. Can't imagine what it will sound like with a new exhaust.

Haven't downloaded the movies, but if it's seriously loud, no thanks. My car is loud enough with an AEM CAI and Borla catback, which isn't exactly as loud as I thought it would be.

Welp, looks like a SC is still up in my future (saw the Hymee vid and that thing sounded awesome).

No inside job on the motor, all peripheral things installed.
The last dyno I was present was a max tuned N/A Hi Po RX8 which showed the incredible number of 249 hp !!! And of course I got a taste of the sweet... Man that car is a razor machine!!! With huge tires, a superb sound system (a lot of weigth as you can think) and the car is crisp and direct!

But the thing is that I am not allowed to tell anything! So only a dyno for my car is still up and the next coming week(s) I will post it.

As for the sound, you haven't seen anything yet, unfortunately fot that kind of performance, sound is a factor you don't count...

Soory for being secretive, but I got a little bruised for telling firms and that.

I'm lost, why would a company that is producing these headers not be interested in responding to an interested consumer? I guess making money isn't a concern of theirs.

i agree with everyone here.... yet the only product that I've actually seen worth buying was the OBX Cat-Back exhaust system... My two friends have 8's one AT and one MT...It sounds nice and I think I like it...but thats a whole different topic.....

what you really mean is you're too cheap to step up to the plate ...

the OBX has several issues, not being emissions legal is one ...
